Lugu Lake Tingxia Island|Summer Besties Party Guide

Lugu Lake’s water is as fickle as a willow, a 20℃ summer paradise!
Spending summer vacation at Lugu Lake with your besties will have your social circle buzzing!

💖 Must-do summer happiness list for besties
The divine experience of "lying in bed watching the lake view"
Stay at the "Tingxia Island Lake View Duplex," with whole-house smart temperature control + floor heating (opening windows in summer ≈ natural air conditioning!), and when the electric curtains open—the Gem Goddess Mountain reflects on the lake, the fickle water forms a "starry carpet," lying down to shoot bestie photos without any editing needed!

2. Exclusive way to "take over the whole lake"
Fickle water: ride a pig trough boat on the lake (hotel offers shuttle to the dock), the boatman teaches you to paddle, laughing until you split! Grass Sea lying flat plan: rush into the ten-thousand-acre green Grass Sea (10-minute walk from the hotel), bring a picnic mat to lie among the reeds, nibble on baked potatoes from the innkeeper 🌿, the wind blows and the grass waves rustle, bestie group photos instantly turn into a "Tiny Times" forest blockbuster.
